OBNE Blackcap Review

The Old Blood Noise Blackcap takes tremolo to a new level by combining an analog tremolo with a digital harmonic tremolo. The analog side delivers classic volume modulation, while the digital side crossfades between highs and lows, creating a unique swirling effect. You can use them separately or mix them in parallel or series for endless rhythmic and tonal possibilities.

With five selectable waveforms, tap tempo control, and an expression input, the OBNE Blackcap guitar pedal gives you complete creative control over your tremolo effects. A quick flick of a switch lets you experiment with different subdivisions, and holding the tap footswitch engages ramping for smooth speed changes. Whether you need a subtle pulse or a shifting, unpredictable pattern, the Blackcap by OBNE is designed to inspire.

OBNE Blackcap Pedal FAQs

What Makes the OBNE Blackcap Different From Other Tremolo Pedals?

The Blackcap asynchronous harmonic dual tremolo pedal combines both an analog tremolo and a digital harmonic tremolo in one unit. This allows you to create complex, layered modulation effects beyond traditional tremolo sounds.

Can I Use the Analog and Digital Tremolos at the Same Time on the OBNE Blackcap?

Yes! You can run them in parallel for a blended effect or in series for a more interactive and evolving tremolo experience.

What Waveforms Are Available on the Digital Harmonic Tremolo?

The digital side of the Blackcap Old Blood Noise pedal offers five wave shapes: sine, triangle, square, saw, and reverse saw. This gives you a wide range of tremolo styles, from smooth and subtle to sharp and percussive.

How Does the Tap Tempo Function Work on the Old Blood Noise Blackcap?

The tap tempo footswitch lets you sync the digital tremolo to the beat of your music. Holding down tap tempo will ramp the speed up or down, creating smooth transitions between rates.

What Does the Series/Parallel Toggle Do on the OBNE Blackcap?

This switch lets you choose how the two tremolos interact. In parallel mode, both tremolos run side by side, creating a blended effect. In series mode, the analog tremolo feeds into the digital harmonic tremolo, resulting in more complex rhythmic modulations.

Can I Control the Tremolo of the OBNE Blackcap With an External Footswitch?

Yes! The OBNE Blackcap dual asynchronous tremolo has an external tap tempo input, allowing you to control the tempo with a compatible footswitch.

Is the OBNE Blackcap True Bypass?

Yes, the OBNE Blackcap pedal uses a relay-based true bypass system, ensuring that your signal remains unaffected when the pedal is turned off.

What Power Supply Do I Need for the Old Blood Noise Blackcap?

The Old Blood Noise Blackcap requires a standard 9V DC power supply with a center-negative polarity. It draws approximately 106mA of current.
